A short YouTube monologue by Mark Evans DM (uploaded Feb 4, 2023) advising viewers to ask better, more actionable questions to improve outcomes. The speaker contrasts complaint-based self-talk ("Why am I fat? Why do I suck?") with goal-oriented curiosity ("How did that person get a yacht? How much does it cost?") and notes he adjusted his personal "operating system" over 26.5 years to adopt this mindset.
What I kind of like about artificial intelligence in that manner, it forces you to ask better questions to get better outputs. And you can see it real time. Like, why am I fat? Based off the case studies, this is what I've seen. How do I lose 10 pounds? How do I gain muscle? Like, getting you better at asking better questions. So most people suffer from asking themselves questions. They're oftentimes saying, why do I suck? Why am I ugly? Why am I fat? Why I got a small wiener? Why do I have this? Why don't I have that? They think they're asking a question, but really what they're doing is complaining, as opposed to like, hey, this is what I got. How do I maximize it? How do I get X, Y and Z? Like, if I see someone that has a yacht and I want a yacht, I'm not like, I can never afford a yacht. It must be nice. It's more like, how the did this guy get this yacht? What does he do? How does he do it? How much does he make? How much does the yacht cost? How much does it take to maintain it? Blah, blah, blah. Like, I'm asking different questions. My operating system, I've adjusted over the last 26 and a half years by what I was going to talk to you about.
